Finding Your Way
The sidebar, pinned pages, the command palette and the theme.
The sidebar
The sidebar groups the portal into areas. Which areas you see depends on your role: a screen your role does not open is not shown at all.
The areas you are most likely to use:
| Area | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Editor | Posts, and the screens for writing and publishing them |
| Assets | Media: images, video and audio |
| Builder | Pages, and the widgets that make them up |
| Social | Sharing posts to your social channels |
| Analytics | How your content is read |
| Admin | Users, roles and sessions |
The section menu stays on screen while you edit, so you can move to another screen without losing your place.
Pinned pages
Pin the pages you use most, and they appear under Pinned at the top of the sidebar. Use the pin beside a page in its section menu; unpin it the same way. There is a limit to how many pages you can pin.
The command palette
The command palette is a search box for the whole portal. Type a screen’s name to jump to it, or use a quick action such as Create new post.
Light and dark
Choose Light, Dark or System under Account → Preferences → Theme, or from the menu under your avatar. System follows your computer’s setting. Light is the default.
Opening things in a new tab
Links in the portal are ordinary links, so you can open a post or a screen in a new tab with Ctrl-click (Cmd-click on a Mac) or the middle mouse button.
